I really should play something/anything that isn't WoW...maybe

Looks at stack of half-played video games and decides that we could chip these out little by little and eventually finish them all. Update: Playing SW:TOR

Wherein I give up something I really love for 40 days

Pastries alongside an overall reduction in carbs. Here we go.

Inglourious Basterds and the Samsung BD-P1400

Problem:

Disc loads
Menus are accessible
Press play, nothing i.e., I get the FBI warning

10 minutes later...stil nothing, same FBI warning. I think they really want me to understand the trouble I'd be in if I don't heed their warning.

Firmware update found and installed.

Trying again.

Still nothing after 10 minutes of pressing play. At this rate I contemplate defying the FBI. I'm not going to.

The internet is not very helpful.

I find a clue.

Solution:

Movie plays when you start at the chapter selection.

One Sweet Love

For that moment when you'd asked yourself if it was all worth it and when you had realized that you were ready and was this it?

And you smiled a little smile and said yes.

One Sweet Love - Sara Bareilles

Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see to sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of my own devices
Could I be wrong?

The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?

Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I'll open up the moon for you
Just come down soon

The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of one sweet love.

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain
sip on the southern rain
As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you.

The earth that is the space between, I'd banish it from under me to get to you.
Your unexpected love provides my solitary suicide
oh I wish I knew

The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of one sweet love.

Is more commonly used as...

How the common usage of the following has changed amuses me:

IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) is now more commonly used as IMO

and

redonculous/redoculous is now more commonly used as redonk or reduck

The latter when used/OH in conversation is especially amusing.

Thank you

The part I like is the part that reminds me that I feel like this song all the time.

Dido - Thank you

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last
and I'm soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel
and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down,
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Adieu Firefox (for now)

The bug:

In Firefox when I click "Help" the selections are grey except for "Check website..."

The "fix":

Use Safari

What I'll miss:

searchontab
download status bar
the new tab button sitting next to the tabs instead of off to the far right

Let's see how this goes.

iPhone/AT&T vs Google Voice

Sure it'd be cool to have a google voice app on your iphone, but you know what, right now, you don't have one.

Whatever the reason may be, and they can give you any reason they want, you-still-don't-have-a-google-voice-app-on-the-iphone.

If you're so upset about it get a blackberry. Wow, you're not gonna? That's what I thought (see above about reasons).

A google voice app not being on the iphone is not news.

Quit your whining.

Who, what, when, where, and how

Ask yourself

who, what, when, where, and how

About everything

(how/what/when/who/where) are the answers

(what/who/where/how/when) are the answers' answers

and so on and so forth

do you like the answers

do you have answers

and so on and so forth

But here I am and here we go again

When it was so good
and so bad
and just so much
of everything
and there you were

Ingrid Michaelson - Sort Of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wv3q0POgdg

Baby you've got the sort of hands to rip me apart
And baby you've got the sort of face to start this old heart
But your eyes are warning me this early morning
That my love's too big for you my love

Baby you've got the sort of laugh that waters me
And makes me grow tall and strong and proud and flattens me
I find you stunning, but you are running me down
My love's too big for you my love
My love's too big for you my love

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again

Baby you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales
That your sort of mouth just will not say, the truth impales
That you don't need me, but you won't leave me
My love's too big for you my love
My love's too big for you my love

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again

Tell me what to do to take away the you?

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no.
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again

THE REASON WHY

Vienna Teng reminded me of Rachael Yamagata and "The Reason Why" and how I burned-a-whole-through-that-cd on my, then, ipod and how every so often there'd be a song that I'd play over and over and over again.

Over and over again for the first hour, then two, then it'd pretty much be the only song I play all day. It'd be a song-of-that-particular-moment/feeling/mindset/mood and it'd be perfect.

This one's for you Ed and Benna!

when you say nothing at all- Ronan Keating

"When You Say Nothing At All"

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
(The crowd)
Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Changing

Changes as of late (late being a relative period of time).

Changes if status: marital(+)

Changes in state/status/person/personality: <>=+-(in no particular order)

I'm optimistic about these changes. In particular the way these changes feel; they feel positive.

And they will continue.

Suki is psychic
Sam is a werewolf/were-dog
Vampire is the new black (hehe, see what I did there)

Banana Republic is putting most things on sale. It's not everything, yet, but over time, it will be most things, and those pants will be mine.
